Chapter 454: The Sea
The Ming army is now holding on, more than 70,000 people and horses have all thrown in, and there are fighting figures everywhere within a radius of nearly five miles, and the sound of killing is shaking the sky, and the generals' voices are about to shout hoarse, and they rush left and right with their subordinates! Every step was extremely difficult, and countless corpses fell with every step!
Gao Jie's men and horses have long given up the artillery attack and joined the bloody battle, a cannon can't play much role, and the more important thing is that the two sides are now fighting together, and it is impossible to use artillery, which also makes him extremely annoyed, because his subordinates have too few cavalry, it is conceivable that the losses will be very serious!
Three miles away on the north bank of the Huan River, Abatai was wrapped in a thick blanket, riding on a war horse looking at the red fire in the distance, the sneer at the corner of his mouth never disappeared, although he didn't see the battle situation, but he was confident enough to defeat this Ming army in one fell swoop, playing with means is only temporary, but the army has passed, any means will become a joke!
The bloody battle lasted for more than half an hour, the two sides came and went, the people killed were tired, but no one took the slightest advantage, although the Qing army was brave, but the number of people was less than 20,000 after all, and more importantly, Huang Degong took advantage of the high-tech, and the mobile deployment at any time was stunned to resist the lack of combat power with tactics!
The war zone is still dominated by the banks of the Huanhe River, and the two sides began to tug of war, as if the Huanhe River has become a treasure at the moment, and both sides are desperately scrambling, Huang Degong is a little worried, seeing that the Ming army may not be able to bear it if it goes on like this, because at least half of the Qing army has not been invested, if after a while, the Qing army will test out the strength of their own side, and they will inevitably move away, and then there will be only a rout! Looks like we've got to figure it out quickly!
That's right, Abatai poured out of the nest, but he didn't devote all his troops to this fight, as Huang Degong expected, he was testing the combat power of the Ming army, and he didn't know the depth of the other party, and he didn't have the courage to invest in the whole army. And at this time, when the two sides have been fighting fiercely for a stick of incense, they are still fighting, which means that this Ming army is either very high in combat power, or there are a lot of people, and now he wants to know most whether the Ming army still has extra men and horses at this moment, if there are no extra men and horses, he will immediately order the whole army to attack!
In order to verify it, Abatai immediately ordered another 10,000 horses to be thrown in, and if the other party couldn't bear it, hehe............
Hehe's sneering stopped, because Abatai heard the boom again. It wasn't an explosion, it seemed like the roar of some animal, and he quickly thought of the monsters that Cobusso was talking about.
Perhaps in order to meet the occasion, at that moment, dozens of dazzling bright lights suddenly lit up on the bank of the Huan River, and then with a roar, they began to rush towards the north bank of the Huan River, that is, where Abatai is now, which immediately shocked him, and there were divine birds protecting the city between the rivers. Jingzhou has a divine beast to protect the city, what's wrong with Daming? Why do you carry it so much!
Huang Degong, who was across the river, smiled, the chariot company was his last killer weapon, and he didn't use it all the time just to deal with the reinforcements of the Qing army. After he found out that the Qing army had really sent reinforcements, he ordered the dynasty to attack, and at the same time, the personal guards also came to help! This is the last big killer!
The chariot company led by the dynasty crossed the river directly from the side of the Huanhe Theater to the enemy rear to meet the newly arrived reinforcements of nearly 10,000 troops, and this is the plain. The damage inflicted on the cavalry of the Qing army by a chariot with a body welded with steel thorns was a million points! It can even be said that they were devastating blows to those who were caught off guard, and they were invincible and slapping their faces and raging, although the other party had nearly 10,000 horses. However, this kind of dazzling and bright killer has a huge visual and psychological impact on people in this era!
If it is daytime, the Qing army will not be so panicked, but now it is night, nearly a hundred large iron beetles with strong pillars of light are rampage, the scene is not too terrifying, and what is even worse is that the pro-guard team secretly followed closely behind and kept holding fire, in the dark, the Qing army did not know whether this thing that could kill people hundreds of meters away with flames was a person or a ghost! The only thing they felt was that the light was too dazzling to see anything clearly, and then there were all kinds of screams around them!
The Qing army Mingjin retreated, and Abatai realized a serious problem, the night attack was really not suitable for him! Blind when he opened his eyes, he couldn't figure out whether he was fighting with people or ghosts now, looking at the bright monster that was slowly approaching him, he was scared, and Ming Jin withdrew his troops.
Thankfully, after he Mingjin withdrew his troops, those monsters also retreated, which made me even more surprised, could it be the same as Hejian City, and still bypass it? What kind of thing is this, who knows what kind of divine beast will come out of the next stop to protect the city, and give up every time, so why do you enter the customs by yourself!
Kobusso's leg was severely burned, and his face was full of pain, Abatai sat next to him and did not have any punishment, but listened to him tell the bits and pieces of the front line, and then analyzed the various possibilities of the Ming army with Turg and others!
The day is about to dawn, Abatai is not sleepy at all, the casualty report has come out, more than 3,000 people! Another unacceptable number!
It was bright and the Abatai, who had just been a little sleepy, received another piece of news that the Ming army on the other side had withdrawn, so clean that not even a single corpse could be seen! This surprised him very much, and only after half a sound did he lightly spit out a sentence: "Surrounding Jingzhou, when the city is broken, there are no chickens and dogs left!" "This is this set of lines, nothing new!
Wenzhou, a historical ancient city, also known as Yongjia, one of the cities on the east coast of the Celestial Empire that attracts pirates and pirates, has not stopped since the end of the Ming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty, and the flood of pirates has always been the most headache faced by this city! However, there is no cure!
On the one hand, the reason for the proliferation of pirates and pirates is the traditional occupation of relying on the sea to eat the sea, and on the other hand, it has an unshirkable responsibility with the sea ban of the Ming Dynasty! Since the opening of the Ming Dynasty, unless the official and overseas to maintain tributary trade relations, other trade is prohibited, for this reason Zhu Hongwu issued a holy decree prohibiting the people from going out of the sea and foreign markets, becoming the ancestral training of the emperors of the Ming Dynasty, and even in the Jiajing period, the imperial court closed the city because of the Japanese envoys fighting for tribute, so far the official trade was forced to stop.
Normal official trade was cut off, and the private smuggling trade was replaced. The smuggling traders along the coast supplied Japanese merchants with Chinese goods such as cotton cloth, raw silk, silk fabrics, ceramics, iron pots, mercury, medicinal herbs, and books. The stricter the sea ban, the more expensive the price, the greater the profits, and the more desperate the risk-takers, so there are birds in the forest, and there are pirates in the maritime merchants!
And the most hateful thing is these pirates, you don't care about it openly, but you always like to pull some Japanese ronins to work together, and if something happens, the basin will be deducted from Japan's head, so the pirates will become Japanese pirates, even if there is only one Japanese ronin in this group of pirates! This is the real widow of the Ming Dynasty, the fake widow incident, according to research, the real widow of this period is only 30% of the hundredth, and the rest are all my people of the Ming Dynasty for various reasons pretending to be drops, and harming their comrades without mercy!
Lingkun Island is in the northeast corner of Wenzhou, the mouth of the Oujiang River in the heart of the river, located in the desolate, few residents, most of them are fishing boats to rest and shelter from the wind, in the east of it dozens of nautical miles away is dotted with islands, the largest of which is Dongtou Island, that is, the Dongtou County composed of 168 islands and 259 islands and reefs in later generations, and then the vast sea to the east!
A few months ago, a group of uninvited guests from Wenzhou Mansion walked into the Yamen, and left for Lingkun Island in just two hours, and then three days later, Wenzhou City and various wharves were plastered with recruitment notices, recruiting sailors, boatmen, and an annual salary of fifteen taels of silver!
This is definitely a high salary, and at this time the cold winter coincides with the fishing season, many people have nothing to do, so they go to the island in groups to see what is going on, this time, I was shocked, thousands of people have appeared on the island, and they are overhauling the project! And the sailors recruited turned out to be used to train sailors!
Some of the Lu family are long-term and short-term workers, and the workers who built roads in Jinhua went to Hangzhou and then went to Nanjing to repair the roads, and the other group went to Wenzhou, of course, a long part of the road, but it was leveled and not paved with cement, and they have now been transferred to the island and started to build docks and houses!
Zhang Long and Zhao Hu have a clear division of labor, one of the two young men is responsible for the training of the navy, and the other is responsible for the construction of the base, and they have taken care of Lingkun Island decently for a few months, anyway, they don't have to worry about eating and drinking, although Lu Wang left little grain and rice, but the silver is enough, and he can withdraw money from the Jinhua shop at any time.
Lu Wang took a few guards and Li Zekai around the island and slowly landed on the flat dock, causing countless onlookers, Zhang Long and Zhao Hu looked at each other, secretly glad that they didn't use a gun to knock down the monster in the sky just now, it turned out that this monster was their master's flying magic weapon!
Lingkun Island is very desolate, overgrown with weeds, thorns are everywhere, the eastern part of the island is a large swamp quagmire that cannot be cultivated and infrastructure, so the wharf is selected on the south side of the island, and the middle of the river is the Huangshi Mountain of Wenzhou City, which is the location of the cross-river bridge in later generations!
In addition to 1,000 reserve sailors, there are more than 2,000 handymen, and more than 3,000 people live on this island without any pressure, on the contrary, it is very empty, many temporary sheds have been built near the dock, a watchtower has been built on the top of the island, and other buildings are under construction!
Lu Wang took everyone along the mountain road to the top of the island, stopped and looked into the distance, and the vast sea went straight to the bottom of his eyes, which made him can't help but sigh, the sea is full of water......
